In February 2023, Université Internationale de Rabat organized an orientation session for its international students who come from a variety of countries such as Spain, Australia, France, Italy, Belgium, and Ireland. These students are here on a semester exchange program, which allows them to study subjects related to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African Studies, as well as Architecture and Political Science.

 

Studying abroad is a unique experience that can broaden one's horizons and provide valuable learning opportunities. By studying in a new environment, students can gain a deeper understanding of different cultures, meet new people, and enhance their academic and personal skills. The Université Internationale de Rabat is renowned for its excellent academic programs, and it is wonderful to see that the incoming exchange students are benefiting from the University's commitment to providing a high-quality education.

 

The International Relations & Partnerships department is dedicated to providing exchange students with a wide range of cultural activities to enrich their experience while studying abroad. As part of this initiative, the department recently organized an exciting afternoon visit to ICESCO for the exchange students.

 

During the visit, the exchange students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of Morocco by exploring the various exhibits and activities offered at ICESCO. This cultural institution is renowned for promoting cultural dialogue and understanding between different nations and cultures, making it a perfect destination for exchange students looking to learn more about the region they are studying in.

 

Last February, Université Internationale de Rabat had the honor of hosting Mr. João Amaro de Matos, the Vice President of Nova University, one of UIR's EUTOPIA partners. The meeting between the two institutions was centered on identifying potential opportunities for collaboration within the Bilateral and Erasmus+ program frameworks.

 

During the meeting, representatives from both institutions engaged in a productive and meaningful discussion. They explored various avenues for collaboration, including joint research projects, exchange programs, and student and faculty mobility initiatives. The exchange of ideas and perspectives during this meeting was a testament to the strong relationship between the two institutions and their shared commitment to providing high-quality education to students around the world.

 

As a member of the EUTOPIA alliance, UIR is dedicated to fostering strong partnerships with other leading universities across Europe. Collaborating with institutions such as Nova University allows UIR to expand its global network and offer students a diverse range of academic opportunities. This meeting was an important step towards establishing a lasting partnership between the two institutions and creating new avenues for collaboration in the future.
